good listening

I have mentioned here before what a HUGE fan I am of This American Life with Ira Glass.

This weeks' episode was all about art!! Loved, loved, loved this episode! Go here to listen and click on the orange "full episode" link to listen for free on your computer.

In this episode there is a thought provoking segment about a Balloon Artist who is shunned by his fellow artist friends for becoming "too commercial".

You also hear from David Sedaris, one of my all time fav authors talking about his experience with performance art. Hilarious! This essay is from his book Me Talk Pretty One Day and listening to him read it is priceless. If you need a laugh today, listen to this segment!
